Cheaper fares on bus routes

Bargain bus travel is being offered to passengers who may be feeling the pinch following the festive period.

From Wednesday, January 2, Stagecoach in Chesterfield is introducing special seasonal ticket offers for customers travelling on services 1, 96 and 97.

They can benefit from reductions in single and return fares of up to 30 per cent.

Some return fares are being reduced from £5.50 to £3.90.

Rupert Cox, commercial director for Stagecoach, said: “We know Christmas can be an expensive time for many people and this offer is our way of giving something back to our customers.

“We pride ourselves on value-for-money fares and high-quality travel and, with ever-increasing motoring costs, we hope these further seasonal reductions will also encourage even more people to try the bus.”
